Thoughts

 I find it truly amazing, we think that 1 man can change the outcome of the world today. A president can change the trajectory that we are on. We think that he has the answer to Covid, people want to blame one man for the pandemic, want to blame him for not reacting soon enough, want to blame him for not doing something, but they don't have answers. They react, we are a reactionary people quick to react, slow to think and quick to speak. We are quick to anger, quick to curse someone out, quick to fight, quick in every single way, except quick to forgive, quick to let things go, quirk to do the very things that we are called to do. Do you know that anger, rage, unforgiveness, hatred, malice will cut down on your life, negativity is shown to decrease your life. They have proven that people that read pill bottles and then take the pills are more likely to get the side effects even if they take a sugar pill, just because that is what they read because that is what the brain tells them they should get from it. That is just how human nature is. We are quick to do things, because that is how we are as humans, we want to react, we want to point out other peoples faults, their flaws, we want to say when they are wrong, we want to be the bigger person, we want to tell people to get in their place, tell them we are right, because that makes us feel so much better, but really is that the right thing to do? What does it do for us? It is only a little high for a little while and then what? We do it again and again, we push people away, we hurt those we love, we cause division and we feed into the lies that surround us, we are the reason, because we are no longer standing for the truth that we are raised with.

We stopped teaching our kids how to be kids. When I was raise, my Mom taught me to tell her how I felt, when I was angry, express my feelings, tell her when I was sad, tell her when I was happy, tell her when I was angry. Then when I had kids, that changed some how, we started hiding our feelings, it was some how no longer tolerated to share our feelings, it was a secret to share with others how we were really doing, we hid it, because we assumed that people were to busy about themselves, they didn't want to hear the truth, they didn't want to hear how I am really doing so we started saying I am fine, everything is good. In doing that, we taught our kids to stop sharing how they are doing, we taught them to swallow there feelings, we taught them to not share anymore. Look at our kids today, they are the most depressed kids, they are hiding their feelings, they don't share, they don't open up. They are afraid of being honest and so are we. We need to break the cycle, we need to start doing things differently. If you don't want the truth from someone don't ask them how they are doing. If you aren't willing to hear I am struggling, don't ask them a question, if you are only being fake, don't be fake, be real, isn't it time to be real humans, no longer fake zombies walking around having fake caring personalities, fakeness sucks, lets not suck the lives out of people, lets give life back, care.

My two thoughts for today.
